I just got this tonight at the calendar kiosk at the local mall for half price! I'd been waiting. They only had three left.
Here's my question for the January fact. Does not the egg also need to be fertilized???

Yes if you incubate an non fertile egg after 21 days all you have is a rotten egg.

Not if its a Rooster egg!

I dont think so I bet the egg layer passed away after 20 hours of labour, passing the egg with its final breath of air

I think if you would read the post it says CHICKEN egg not rooster egg. Rooster eggs do not fall into the same catagory as chicken eggs.

That's the way they had it in the calendar. I figure it's probably goverment figures and they like the looks of the word million instead of the zeros or something.

But wouldn't it just be easier to say 73 Billion?? (unless my math is off)

My guess is that they took the data off of a graph (in millions), and didn't know how to convert it.

Do they use a comma instead of a decimal point in Europe? Maybe it has something to do with that?
